Strange spot on cheek

[Jackieweaverishere]

Ds has a strange bump on his cheek, it looks like there's white pus inside but no break in his skin. It looks a bit like a bite but on closer examination you see the white stuff. I would love to squeeze it but would just like to know what it is....

We're moving this thread over to Sporner Corner for the OP, and giving it a bump (and a squeeze)

I'd be using hot compresses and a rough flannel and a sterilised needle

I know this! It's a milia

Ooh tell me about milia! Can I use a sterilised needle, I've been dreaming of this moment!!!

Yes, yes I believe you can. Only one condition - you need to take an after photo!

@Gribbie as requested, I finally managed to get DS to agree to me attacking it. I used some sterilised nail scissors and the top part came out like a dream some of it is deep / absorbed now so I didn't want to fiddle with it. But overall it's better ( and it was glorious to do!)

Is that also a massive blackhead in his ear?

Knowing DS it was probably wax! It's not there now (photo was taken a couple of weeks ago). I nearly didn't post the photo because of the muck in his ear, should have known there would be eagle eyes on the photo 🤣🤣

@ViceLikeBlip

My thoughts exactly! Get a Kirby grip on that OP, straight away

A Kirby grip on blackheads?! Tell me more! Do you just squash with one of the pointy ends?

God no. You use the looped end to apply pressure around the blackhead satisfyingly removing it to the cries of joy from all around

Some lucky people or professional sporners have a little looped tool. A Kirby grip works well enough though especially for hard to reach places like an ear

OP where are the photos of the contents of said milia???

I'm fairly new to this site, and have only just found the 'Sporner' bit - this being my first read. Oh my days - you lot are utterly sick .... and oh so funny!! I shall be visiting much more often. But not at meal times, ever!! Lol!

@Suipigz I'm so sorry, in the excitement it got swiped away and lost. It was surprisingly small. It all happened so quickly...

oooo! Nice work
